The ATP 250 in Metz has delivered another strong indoor hard-court week, with players who thrive under quick conditions pushing deep into the draw. With spots in the semifinals on the line, we bring you predictions for all four matches on offer. Who do you back to make it to the final four?
ATP Metz Quarterfinal Predictions
Kyrian Jacquet vs Cameron Norrie
Head-to-Head: first meeting
Kyrian Jacquet has turned his lucky loser entry into a statement run at home, serving well and playing freely in big moments. Cameron Norrie had to work harder in his early rounds but has settled into the faster conditions, using his flat backhand and improved forehand aggression to good effect. With no head-to-head meetings to rely on, this will be about who can impose their patterns first. Norrie’s edge in experience at this stage and his ability to stay solid through tense rallies could prove crucial when the match tightens.
Prediction: Norrie in 2
Lorenzo Sonego vs Daniel Altmaier
Head-to-Head: first meeting
Lorenzo Sonego has been sharp from the baseline this week, especially behind his second serve–something that matters a lot on indoor courts. Daniel Altmaier has impressed too, showing resilience and smart defending despite indoor hard courts not being his strongest setting. They’ve never squared off against each other at pro level but both their previous meetings at the lower levels went Sonego’s way, and stylistically the Italian is more naturally suited to these conditions, with his first-strike tennis often putting opponents under immediate pressure.
Prediction: Sonego in 2
Clement Tabur vs Vitaliy Sachko
Head-to-Head: first meeting
Clement Tabur has been lifted by the Metz crowd all week, playing fearless and attacking whenever he’s seen a chance. Coming through qualifying has him battle-tested and full of belief. Vitaliy Sachko has also found his groove, holding serve well and striking the ball flat and fast off both wings. Both are thriving in these low-bounce conditions, but Tabur’s momentum and the noise behind him could be the deciding factor when the pressure peaks.
Prediction: Tabur in 3
Matteo Berrettini vs Learner Tien
Head-to-Head: first meeting
Matteo Berrettini continues to rebuild confidence, and the indoor environment in Metz amplifies his biggest weapons: a booming serve and a forehand that finishes points quickly. Learner Tien has quietly put together a formidable week, displaying composure, tactical awareness, and showing maturity far beyond his years. Tien will compete well from the back of the court, but Berrettini’s ability to take the racket out of his opponent’s hands on serve alone remains a major separator at this stage of ATP events.
Prediction: Berrettini in 2
